Saskatchewan falls directly in the middle of the main grain legume growing region in Canada with chickpea, common bean, lentil, faba bean and pea growing regions. As such the Crop Development Centre at the University of Saskatchewan is well known as a major research center for pulse crop breeding and genetics (classical and molecular).

What are Pulses?

Pulses are the dried, edible seeds of plants in the legume family and are both very high in protein and fibre, and low in fat. Dried peas, edible beans, lentils and chickpeas are the most common varieties of pulses. Since pulses are legumes, these crops fix nitrogen into the soil reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and improving environmental sustainability of annual cropping systems.
